This looks good, but the alt mode (assuming you plan to still use it) will look a little odd with 1/2 the legs painted red.

If you don't plan to use the alt mode, it is a near perfect homage to the G1 Megs.

You may want to add some red to the sides of the torso. Most of the pics I referenced for my repaint had the sides red. If you are going for that G1 look you may want to add that.

Nice work!

Thanks for the compliments! It is non transformable. I 86ed the wings and I was going for a DW G1 comics look. In a lot of those pics he does not have red on his sides but I know his orignal design did. I am going to take better pics. Theese do no justice to the extensive detail on the flat black parts and the chrome wear from battle. Um working on a version of classics T cracker for my personal collection. He is looking sweet! I will post more pics of this repaint soon! Thska for the comments!

If I had an extra 100 bucks or so I would, but right now Im tapped and thats a nice piece. I wouldn't sell for under triple digits if I were you. But Id also keep it as its a really well done figure and looks amazing even for a KO.
